[Solved] TPdfDoc and special characters

[cpalx]

I try to do this:

   MyPDFDOC.Canvas.TextOut( 75,75, 'El día de hoy' );       

and when i see the final PDF, the character  " í  " doesnt display, instead of  appers garbage characters

Any idea how to solve?

I guess you are talking about PowerPDF.

You must convert string to cp1252 codepage. https://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.io/docs/lazutils/lconvencoding/utf8tocp1252.html

Try:

   MyPDFDOC.Canvas.TextOut( 75,75, UTF8ToCP1252('El día de hoy'));
